I like a good thriller, and The Secret in Their Eyes is definitely an excellent one. It explores the lifelong, life-alerting repercussions of a young wife's brutal murder, the investigation, and the subsequent perversion of justice. Campanella's complex plot unfolds gradually, in ever opening circles of new information (none of which feels as though it were withheld gratuitously).
The camera work and editing can be breath-taking. In particular, be ready to have your socks knocked off during the chase at the soccer stadium.
Highly recommend.
